I hope that pretty paint dont get hurt and I think someone got a heck of a deal in that new motor. I wish I had been in a position to buy it but just could not swing it .

So far so good on the paint! If I had more room or thought I would have another project in the next few years I would have just kept that motor but unfortunately I am maxed out in my little garage. It was a pretty potent little engine for not really having anything special.

Tonight I am going to start taking everything off the firewall and get it all gussied up. I have a whole array of parts from Ground-up on the way to the house right now

Cool Eric...looks like I'm right behind you...
I'm just waiting for my engine hoist to be returned on Saturday. A buddy borrowed it last June. :(
I've put so many engines in this '67 I've got it worked out where I don't even need to remove the hood.

Bill .Im surprised that 67 isnt trained to change its own engines by now.

Looks like you will be busy with your project. Not sure how I have missed this post.

Did a little bit of work on the firewall yesterday. Don't think I am going any more detailed than this. Probably hit it with a wire brush and some semi-gloss chassis coat the put it all back together. I did have to drill out the steering box as some jack-hole broke the head off a bolt many years ago. That was a PITA!

Tires also came in. Not drag radials or anything crazy like that but they should definitely be an improvement.

Looking good ,keep it up.

I love threads like this, it's cool to see the build come along.

I agree. Sometimes you even get a little jealous. :) In a good way.
